Hello,

I am new to coccinelle and am interested in creating a patch which can define functions based on the function pointers

available in a struct declaration. Since the names of the pointers don't exactly match the

function definitions I want, I used a python script to modify the names. Below is my script:

@m_rule@

field list f_list;

identifier I;

struct I {

f_list

};

@script:python p_rule@

nf << m_rule.f_list;

n_list;

new_nf = []

for f in nf:

parts = f.split("(")

r_type = parts[0]

if '*' in r_type:

r_type=r_type.strip()

else:

r_type = r_type.lstrip()

f_name = parts[1].split(")")[0].replace("*", "").strip()

params = parts[2].split(")")[0]

new_nf.append(r_type + "pv_" + f_name + "(" + params + ")")

new_nf.append(r_type + "hvm_" + f_name + "(" + params + ")")

Please how can I write a new rule that defines several lines of function definitions from

the p_rule new_nf list available in my python structure?

I tried adding the list in a plus(+) entry but that does not work.

Thank you in advance for your help.
